Hey all,
This is my first post after getting my captivate yesterday. I am running on the new Jh7 firmware with SRE 1.3c and ext 2 lag fix. My phone is blazing fast with a 2400 quadrant score. All of this thanks to a wonderful community. Just wanted to give a quick thanks to everyone on here as everyone is great.
Now for my question, my buddy has an evo4g and on his phone he's got a car mode or car dock app that brings up just the essential things needed while driving. I cannot seem to find this app anywhere.
If someone can provide an apk or lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Enkso

Search for Captivate in the Market and it should bring up the Samsung apps for Desk and Car mode as well as some other goodies.
Awesome thanks so much!

Do a market search for captivate, you'll find one for home and car. Though for home I suggest buying klaxon from clockwork. Good app that supports an awesome dev.

Are they still around?

They are still around, I found them just fine.
Just type in "Car Home" in the market search and it will bring up several alternatives.
;-p My "Car Mode" is my pocket. I don't txt/call while driving.
But Car Home is the one you want. If anything might be able to find just the .apk here on the forums somewhere.
You might not be able to access it with eclair, or at least if you run cognition 2.2 and it declares itself as eclair

Pretty sure it's a froyo app, at least I never saw it on the market until I got Cogs froyo.
Got it on stock 2.1 kernal and rom here, still on my market.
From a phone on an app
You might want to check out the google car home app. It can be configured to startup when you connect to a bluetooth headset.
hrm that's wierd couldn't find it using cog 2.1.5.. will update to froyo and check it out

Google Car home is only for Froyo.
Captivate Car home works with 2.1.
ok.. i think its a market restriction.
I'm currently using an Australia Telstra Sim, on Stock Captivate JH7 and still can't find it.. anyone have the apk's or a way of getting it?

samsungs facebook app out of there android market... i think its better than the one in the android market so im posting the apk since not many ppl can access the samsung android market
not bad, thanks for the up! I love the Add Location feature when posting a status - getting closer to "Places" every time there's a new app.......
Just tried it with JI6 Froyo and just Force Closes and won't run... Thanks for the file, if I end up going back to 2.1 I will use.
I also tried it with Froyo JI6. Doesn't work.
Is there any possible way you could get a 2.2 version of it? Everyone I know with a Captivate has already switched over too, so it would be awesome if we all could get it. Thank you!
i just stumbled upon it but ill see what i can dig up for 2.2,samsung has to update for when 2.2 officially comes out for our device

Is there a pin to use in the emulator to access the Samsung market or is this a completely different market all together? Is there a way I can get into the market?
Its a seperate market that samsung has installed on some phones... its called samsungapps but there isnt a way to emulate it that i know of
I keep geeting "Login failed. Try again later."
Same hear, FC at login
i havent had any problems with it, are u guys running 2.2 or already have the other facebook app installed

Have you tested this and it is working? Bugs?
And what version ROM are you running?
I hate the default Facebook app for this phone. Just wish I could filter my friends list.
i havent had any problems with it, i have it installed and been using it daily, i dont have the other one installed. I am running Cognition 2.1.1
Works great for me so far. Appears to be superior to facebooks crap app

thanks, but keep getting network errors.
Dont works for me in froyo
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
it prolly wont work with froyo since samsung hasnt released froyo for any of the galaxy s line, but im sure once they release froyo, theyll update the app
I installed and it looks great! My only gripe is that it takes forever to load any of the tabs. I imagine this is due to all the detail of the app (way more options than Facebook for Android). Other than that, I absolutely love it! I just want it to load faster... so I guess I wont be uninstalling the other one any time soon.. =^\
It doesn't recognize the Facebook Account in the Captivate on Froyo..
Samsung Apps is built into all the I9000 ROMS. Someone with the I9000 JPK Froyo build need to download the Facebook App from Samsung Apps and post it here. If nobody does it, I will upload the file the next time I flash my phone.
I was looking for something in the app market and happened to run across this. Looks like a new update for Youtube. Seems like a little smoother interface and bit more finger friendly. Just figured I'd share!
The native YouTube app? Or are you talking about a 3rd party one?
I ask because I'm not getting an update notification. Since its one of my most used apps I'm definitely interested in any new improvements
The native app. I didnt get a notification for it either but it's def a different verision then what I had before. Try searching for it in the market.
I think it may be for 2.2 only.

I'm running Cog Beta 5.5. Which is 2.2.
But, it looks like it is completely separate than the YouTube app which comes pre installed on the captivate. Just downloaded, and so far I like it.
Here's the Appbrain
EDIT: It also allows you to edit the SafeSearch controls. Which I had heard previously Samsung (or ATT) disabled.

Can anyone else confirm this? I never got a backup so I don't want to upgrade unless this is true.

It definitely does let you edit the safe-search controls. First thing I did was turn them off
still cant watch a lot of music videos (thanks to VEVO) and a bunch of popular videos (worst dj ever) are still not viewable or searchable.
Have to use the regular Youtube site and use flash for those videos.
It clearly states on the AppBrain page that it is for 2.2 and up, so no dice for us Eclair users.

new and improved....
yeah,i downloaded this yesterday and i really like this version- the interface looks much better dark and i like that i have access to my channel when away from my computer...found out about the new youtube app through android central-no notification was sent to me since the captivate doesn't officially have 2.2?(i have the leaked 2.2 )
thanks for the headsup!!
New app looks awesome Thanks for the find.
Can someone please go to the new YouTube app (if you have it) go to settings and see what the application version is, please?
2.0.26

Really liking the new update. Again this is for 2.2 only, it didn't show up as an update to my current youtube app, but it did replace it once I downloaded and installed it.
Hopefully Google continues to add more and more of the stock apps to the market... one way to combat the horrors of Sense, TouchWiz, etc.

Ported to 2.1

Confirmed working on my end.
Definitely an improvement but still can't comment from within the app which I hope they implement
Desktop home was suppose to be on the market according to sanding's website, but I can't find it. I'm using froyo 2.2. Does anyone have an apk fire this app? Thanks in advance.

That's because it's only for 2.1. Edit your build prop.back to the one from 2.1 and try again.
I got it of applanet, but it forces close on my captivate with froyo. Any fix out there?

I did say that it was only for 2.1 didn't I? There's no froyo support for it. You need to try an find an alternative that you like

Im not sure if u guys r talking about desk home from samsung...but if u do im running latest froyo leak and it came with it...and before that i had cog 9.1.3 and i got it from the market...no problems at all with it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Here's the .apk from the optimized JJ4 ROM. It works on my current setup but it is deodexed and zipaligned so I'm not sure how it would do on a non-deodexed ROM.
Thanks! Works Great on cog 9.1.3
Too bad there isn't a launcher for when you have it plugged in via USB cable
Thanks, I will try it!

So i updated to the new 2.3b and have Desk Home... but the weather "widget" will not display the temperature and cuts off the city (in my case Colorado Springs).
Anyone else having this issue?

If you want the weather on your Desk Home screen you will have to set up Daily Briefing. Thats why it's included in Cog2.3b2
similiarly anyone have a version of the car home app that works in froyo 2.2 or 2.2.1 thanks
I was looking around few app websites and came across PandoaTV
so I went to my market was not able to find it.
So I told my friend about it and he was able to download it but he has HTC from tmo.
I am using right now the newest phoniex rom...... and thought I did all the things to unlock the market but I guess not.
Can someone else with a cap see if they can find it in the market place?
And if so what you did to get to be able to DL it?
From what my friend got it seems like a pretty good quality app for streaming tv.
Just a thought that I would share "about" this app while trying to found out how to fix it haha ^^
Thank you~!

Must be the rom =/
Yea can someone post the apk....it is a free app correct
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
its not the "ROM" but it is the CSC file included in the rom that is the issue for you. the phoenix rom is made in UK. either flash a US csc file OR use the app `Market Enabler`it allows you to temporarily change your CSC for the market, until reboot.
my market is funky
sometimes it works
sometimes it doesnt
I cant dl anything sometimes or update
sometimes I can... =/
its not the phone because I changed it twice...
I apologize in advanced if this question has been asked before but, I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. Also, I been away from xda for awhile.
Was wondering if there's a fix or another app out there to solve captivates gps issue without root? I remember before that telenav for the vibrant (I believe) worked on the captivate very well. Tried to go to the site but it is not thier anymore.
Thanks.
